SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Blue
Cedar today announced that Lockheed Martin, a global security and
aerospace company, has selected Blue Cedar’s mobile security technology
for inclusion in its Universal
Communications Platform (UCP) mobile app, or UCP Communicator. The
collaboration provides Lockheed Martin with a solution for UCP users
that have both iOS and Android devices, who will for the first time be
able to connect quickly and securely to deployed military, first
responders, or remote commercial operations teams who require
interoperability between multiple types of secure radio and cellular
communications.

In a first for Blue Cedar, the company also announced that Lockheed
Martin will distribute the Blue Cedar platform to its customers and
prospects via solutions that meet a wide range of mobile security needs.

“We are pleased to have entered into this strategic relationship with
Lockheed Martin,” said John Aisien, chief executive officer of Blue
Cedar. “We believe that mobile communications security starts by
securing the app, and this unique approach meets the stringent
requirements of the most security-conscious organizations, such as
Lockheed Martin. Our relationship also demonstrates the versatility of
Blue Cedar technology and is just one example of a wide range of
powerful, potential applications for a variety of commercial and public
sector markets.”

Lockheed Martin’s UCP integrates all types of fixed and mobile radio
systems, enabling interoperability between multiple agencies and
coalition force diverse communication and data systems. With Blue Cedar
technology, it now enables consumer-grade smartphones to be used to
extend and expand secure communications networks to users without access
to radio equipment.

The collaboration between Blue Cedar and Lockheed Martin will allow
users with commercial smartphones and tablets to download and launch the
UCP Communicator app, which is inserted with Blue Cedar’s layer of
encryption and other security controls which are already included in the
app. There is no need to write any security code—accelerating time to
market, increasing ease of use, and protecting privacy for users.

The combined Lockheed Martin UCP products and Blue Cedar solution
provides a number of benefits, including:

Simplicity: Users can use the devices they already have.
Downloading and launching the app is easy—and users don’t have to do
anything else.

Blue Cedar transforms enterprise mobility with the industry’s most
innovative mobile security solution. By securing the app rather than the
device, Blue Cedar gives enterprises robust, consistent protection of
corporate data across both managed and unmanaged devices, without the
cost, complexity, or risk to privacy of device-level security. Blue
Cedar’s “follow the app” security sets enterprises free to fully realize
the benefits of secure mobility for both employees and customers. The
company is privately held and headquartered in San Francisco. For
